ELMA — Community residents are invited to attend and celebrate the completion of Summit Pacific’s new Wellness Center this Friday. The grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony are planned for Friday at noon at 610 East Main Street in Elma.

The new facility also features an expanded café, pharmacy, several community conference and education rooms, a rock climbing wall, outdoor plaza, community fitness trail with outdoor exercise equipment and playground.

“This project has been many years in the making and we can’t wait to share it with our community. I believe this Wellness Center will transform the future of healthcare in our county and will be an important resource for many years to come,” said Josh Martin, CEO of Summit Pacific.
